No effect of global warming will be a historic first. It's about the frequency of events and the rate of change.

That example says nothing about frequency or rate of change.

Sure, you'd want some actual climate scientist to do a statistical analysis. But just dismissing it with "it has happened before" is too simple too.

It's quite sad that this forum, usually one of the most civil and thoughtful places on the internet, is full of climate change deniers with pathetic arguments that even they must see the issues with.

It seems like you're actually being uncivil and unthoughtful, and actually upset because other people have different viewpoints, which you are calling "climate change denial", when I doubt anyone here actually denies that the climate is changing.

"climate change denial" has become a term that has a more nuanced meaning that what the literal words say. It for example also includes viewpoints that deny that human influence is the main driver of climate change ("the climate has always been changing"), or the viewpoints that the effects of climate change are not bad, or even desirable ("CO2 is good for plants").

Sorry bud, but it's not "unthoughtful" to discount your opinions. I, and apparently a good percentage of the site, have considered them, found them fruitless, and tire of the arguments.

Your beliefs are incorrect. You can think what you want of course, but there comes a point where nobody needs to care what you say.

> In addition, the World Weather Attribution team also found that climate change made this heat wave at least 150 times more likely and nearly 4 degrees hotter than it would have been before humans began warming the climate back in the 1800s.
